What but color are these two shrimp species different from each other, and can they be kept together in one aquarium.
This is the problem i am having right now, this is because some of you are saying that they cant be kept together. But every piece of reaserch i am doing say's that all there conditions they need to survive over lap, and also that they tend to live in the same area, (South Asia). On top of that many of the places that breed one of these shrimp species also breeds the other one, also much of the shrimp we buy now are captive breed.
So please help me figure this out, and i did use more then one site to compare them to each other.
 
Blue Bee are Caridinia and Red Cherries are Neocaridinia.

In a nutshell they can be kept together. Blue Pearls on the other hand are just another variation of Neocaridinia and will breed with red cherries.

Neos are easier to keep and breed. Hope this clarifies!
